Okay if thats the only taps you have then you can't hook it up to 240.......reason why because those three voltages are all single phase Voltages

120 - residential
277 - Industrial
347 - Commercial

Wondering again where your tank is? If it's in your house (and you're in North America) you would use 120V.

Still trying to visualize your layout.

If you have you have 220 (240) you have 110 (120). How are you going to tap into the 240V? If it an unused 240v recepticle, you can easliy split/convert it to 2x120v (like done for kitchen plugs)

220 comes from a base board heater , (we dont use electric) but because there are other heaters in the curcuit, I cant split the curcuit into 110
